Hey all,
I like to listen to music when I ride. My Beats earbuds are a pain as they turn off when I move my head and they hurt after awhile of riding.
I am looking for suggestions on a Bluetooth helmet setup that sounds good and won’t break the bank. I’m not interested in communicating or taking calls. I would enjoy simple controls for the side of the helmet.
Thanks in advance.

If your not looking for any communication (like Cardo offers), you could go with something like this

Syphon SoundPro

Personally though, for the price I would go with Cardo

 

I have a Sena 5S, and after realizing that to get the best sound the speakers need to be in the exact right spot, I love it. More than loud enough, phone and two way work great, and the price was right. Seems to hold the charge very well in really cold conditions.

 

I use IASUS X-Sound 3 Helmet speakers. they are amazing and Amazon has them. Piggy back a FiiO Q3 amp to your phone/iPod and you have a concert in your head. For no hassle use, do yourself a favor and add the “Chubby button“ and mount it on the riser and control everything without removing your glove or music player.

 

I suppose it depends what you're looking for.
I have a set of Syphon Pro's and realistically i'd give them a 6/10.
They're fairly expensive and being they're speakers, not headphones, they're not comparable to the sound you'd get from noise cancelling headphones which should be obvious but needs to be said.
Connectivity is also a bit of a hassle with my Gen 5 machine with the 10.25 screen.
They always pair with my sled but I haven't got enough time on them to figure how to get them to work seamlessly every time.
All that being said they preform as advertised and in my CKX Titan i'm not able to feel them.
I had considered a Cardo system but wasn't about to spend $500cdn just to play music
